The legendary Long Range Desert Group in the
diaries and photographs of Trooper Frank Jopling.
The elite Long Range Desert Group operated behind enemy lines and Frank Jopling was there from the first sortie. His diary is the most comprehensive published account of the daily activities of these swashbucklers who played a vital part in the Eighth ArmyâÂÂs victory over Axis forces in North Africa during World War II.

Trooper Jopling became a wartime celebrity after his diary was discovered. Extracts appeared in British media, he was the cover story in EverybodyâÂÂs magazine and his personal readings from the diaries were broadcast in his home country, New Zealand.
